Today, we had a brief introduction about interdependence, identity and culture. At the beginning of the session, each student had to show and tell a item which represents their culture.
We were told we need to do a presentation about our understanding of culture.
Central Idea: We are affected by our cultures, and our cultures are affected by us, and identity and culture are interdependent.
Our research question: How does our friends change/ affect us and how we change/affect them?
... for now
Later we started on with the presentation, creating slides for each thing we need.
Later, in 3rd period, when we had Ms Watkins, Ms Watkins suggested that we shouldn't have How does our friends change/affect us... instead, she suggested that we should do How do our friendships change/affect us... we took the suggestion and the research question has changed into:
How do our friendships change/affect us and how we change/affect them.
After we have confirmed with our research question, we started to research. I researched about the link between friendship and culture, like how different cultures have different thoughts in friendship. While Wenchy researched about different types of friends.
We have decided that we would do an interview with how thoughts about friends change, we plan to interview people of different ages.
Here are some questions we plan to use for our interview:

Here are some questions we plan to use for our interview:
What does friendship mean to you?
Do you think friendship is important?
Would you rather be in a group of friends or one or two of your best friends?
Would you be friends with people of different cultures?
Do you become friends with people in different groups(eg. Loners, outcasts, wannabes)?
What do you think is the most important thing about a friend (eg. Loyalty, Trustiness)?
When would you consider some one as a friend (eg. Until you know that person very well)?
Which group do you think is more important friends, family or boyfriends/girlfriends?
Some interesting questions here about friendship.Who are you going to ask?
